The Better World
I believe the world to be beautiful once
Before humanities came along
Nothing anymore were given a chance
A better world perhaps will too soon be gone
Where there be one who save
There always will be one who destroys
Side by side we live as victims and slaves
If yet Heaven and Hell... are we not simply toys?
As green as the leaves once grew
As cool as the natural wind once blew
As blue as once the seas we never knew
How did we try to save? To mend things anew?
Every one building to mean fallen trees
Every one serving to mean another death
Yet as human we never did live as free
Perhaps our downfall is how the world had secretly theft
Is the world to be beautiful once?
Before humanities are to come along
I do not see the deliverance for another chance
Shall the better world... too soon begone
